Baltic Amber Deco Luxe Collection

Gdañsk has cemented its reputation as the world’s Amber capital, well in the past and certainly for the future.

Although sparsely populated in the ancient times, Polish lands maintained lively trade relations with many European regions. That was due to those lands’ location as well as to their highly valued and wanted products. One of them was Amber, plentiful on the southern Baltic coast.

An important trade link known as the Amber route existed already in the bronze age, leading from the Mediterranean Sea via today’s Vienna and on through the Moravian Gate to the Polish lands.
